What is pure intent?

@Shashank

[…] benignity was easy to grasp for instance thinking of a benign tumor or reflecting on the fact that a bullet coming to kill me is benign in the sense it has no intention to kill me

Yes, it makes sense to me if “benignity” is described as in “harmless”, but usually the term is used to indicate that something is beneficial/positive in some way, and my experience is that the universe is simply neutral, or even, I would say, indifferent. So the following makes sense to me:

@Shashank

I do not use the words benevolent/ benevolence and benign/ benignity as antonyms to the words malevolent/ malevolence and malign/ malignity (such as to require reconciliation) as the latter exists only in the human psyche

@Shashank

perhaps if you were to think of it in a similar way to what is expressed in the phrase ‘a benevolent climate’, for instance, it might start to make sense.

@Shashank

Of course, I mean it in much more than a ‘conducive to life’/ ‘conducive to growth’ sense … oft-times expressed by me as ‘I am swimming in largesse’, for example, so as to convey the super-abundance of life

This is a great way to put it and complements the observation that the universe is indifferent/neutral. I wasn’t able to put that into words.

@Shashank

what is being conveyed by those words is the invigorative quality, or dynamic nature, of that [quote] “immaculate perfection and purity [snip]

Thanks for sharing these quotes @Shashank! They bring some clarity. I’m still not a fan of describing it as a “life force”… and even “pure intent”, I refrain to use those words, because I don’t find them to be clear, to be honest.
